Program a backup third FOB.

[Spectragod]

I took mine to the dealer, as my IDS doesn’t have “locksmith” access, sales guy set it up, had 2 spare remotes done, Gave the mechanic $50 to say he never saw me.

It keeps saying “Key Program Fail”
Can any one help?

Just an addition to this thread, 'regular' F150 fobs work as well. I purchased a used F150 'platinum' key fob from ebay for $30, and programmed it based on the forum suggestions in under 2 minutes. Fob fully worked, incl start and tailgate. I then dissected the used fob down to just a circuit board and battery, shrink wrapped it, and now keep it in my wallet for true keyless entry.

I like the platinum shiney buttons more, I ended up installing the used platinum button tree on my main raptor key set.

Now I got it to say program successful however, key is not working? Any help?
i basically have a 2017 raptor and bought the new key updated fob.

Have you already changed the battery ?

Nope I haven’t. I checked and found it had a battery and the indicator blinks red when trying to remote start as in “failed or error to remote start” so I assumed battery life should be good. Will buy a new one and try to see if its a battery issue as my 2017 keys have different sizes so can’t swap.

I like that idea.. how bulky is just the circuit board and battery? Any issues with it pressing any of the "buttons" while in your wallet?

Update: I changed the battery and tried to reprogram it, programed successfully. However, key is still not working. I don't know what seems the problem

Same here, fob facing back of truck with end with key ring loop up. Instructions worked great. Thanks

Keys programmed! The process needs to be fairly quick, a key programmer I spoke with said the entire process needs to be completed within 30 seconds
